Dr. Parisi is best known for her research on nonlinear or endosymbiotic dynamics of evolution in information transmission. She has worked extensively on the impact of cybernetics to an understanding of media culture with the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit. She has published various articles in Tekhnema, Parallax, Ctheory, Social Text, Mute, TCS concerning the relation between science (molecular biology, chaos and complexity theories, quantum physics, endosymbiosis, Darwinism and neo-Darwinism) technology (digital technologies and biotechnologies) and ontological evolution in nature and capitalism. Her research has also focused on the impact of biotechnologies on the notions of the body, sex, femininity and desire. In 2004 she published Abstract Sex: Philosophy, Biotechnology and the Mutations of Desire. Her interest in interactive media technologies has also led her to research the relation between image and sound, synaesthesia and affect, and the generative simulation of perceptive space. Currently she is working on the bionic transformation of the architectural sensorium of the body.
